Clearford signs distribution agreement with UV Pure Technologies

Canada-based water purification company UV Pure Technologies has announced that Clearford Industries will be the exclusive distributor of its water purification products in Colombia, South America.

Clearford believes that UV Pure disinfection solutions provide a higher standard of safety in potable water and reuse applications. Itplans to offer the systems for disinfection of potable water in communal and point-of-use applications throughout the country.

The company is currently installing a turnkey water and wastewater system for a green community near Bogota that will use UV Pure technology. The system will harvest rainwater to augment freshwater supplies, and will use Clearford Smart Digesters and structured wetlands to recycle all wastewater. UV Pure systems will provide disinfection of the reuse water before it is sent from a storage tank to a separate water reuse distribution network.

Clearford vice president of business development Jose Maria Gonzalez said that developers building self-sufficient, communal water systems are very interested in the performance and ease-of-use that UV Pure Crossfire technology offers.

"The high-UV dose, self-cleaning capabilities and safety features of these systems are very attractive to ensure treatment standards are consistently met to protect public health and the environment," Gonzalez added.

UV Pure Technologies President and CEO Rick VanSant said: "Together, Clearford Industries and UV Pure provide great performance and cost advantages compared to conventional water and wastewater treatment. We believe the Clearford team’s local market knowledge and relationships in Colombia will accelerate acceptance and distribution of our technology there."
